Just wrote a short guide to install infinoted on Ubuntu Server, with some scripts for backups and automatic export. http://techmonks.net/working-together-on-text-and-source-code-with-gobby-and-infinoted

just found this nice installation guide for ubuntu: http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/2010/02/05/gobby-server-in-3-steps/

I've istalled Gobby 0.4.10 and GTK+ 2.10.13 Runtime Environment and some friends did so also, but still we couldn't connect our PCs even when we deactivate our FireWalls?.
armin: Is this over the internet? You might need to do port forwarding in this case. Gobby uses port 6522 by default. Gobby 0.4.10 ships its own GTK+ runtime by the way, so you don't need to install an additional one.

I run a linux server and i installed infinoted. but when i run infinoted --create-key --create-certificate it just sits at... Generating 2048 bit RSA private key... i generated a cert and key on windows and uploaded them to the server and it works but because it gets the computername it throws a warning saying the hostnames do not match. Is there an alternate way of generating the certificate and key?
armin: You can use the certtool program that comes with gnutls:
# certtool -p > key.pem # certtool -s --load-privkey key.pem
How long did you wait for infinoted to generate the key? Depending on the computer's performance this can probably take a minute or two.

Gobby is nice work on the collaboration side, but one important editor aspect is missing: support for readline keys! With that, Gobby would seem a very usable tool.
armin: What are readline keys?

Ahhh gobby now works with my version of GTK. I will use it now. How do i host with gobby? HAPPY NEW YEAR!
armin: What version of Gobby are you using? Gobby 0.4.8 has a "Create Session" button used to host sessions, Gobby 0.4.90 does not yet support self-hosting. You'll need to run a dedicated infinoted server. For Linux, it is included in the libinfinity package. For Windows, it will be included with the next release, hopefully in a few days.

Any thoughts to implementing Gobby as a plugin to Pidgin? (To be called Poggy?) That would solve all the logging and messaging issues, and it would provide some fantastic visibility for this project.
On a second note, I found out about gobby from Slashdot's A Web App For Real-Time Collaborative Writing, which talked about EtherPad?, a free online (web2.0/AJAX) version of this concept. I see there's a request for a web app version of gobby (Wobby?) at 2007-5-22 and an embed-with-gecko idea at 2007-09-08. I'd be fantastically interested in Wobby and would even participate in a bounty to get it done with AJAX (not Flash or Silverlight!). Do you think there is enough documentation of the protocol to make this feasible to a third party (not me)?
armin: We have protocol documentation on Infinote/Protocol. It's not 100% complete yet, but I think it's enough to get something working. If you run into problems, you of course can also always ask here or on the mailing list. I don't have any plans myself to create pidgin plugin, though.

Has there been any interest in producing a Gobby plugin to WinEdt? I know that the LaTex? community has been looking for a collaborative editor for a while - gobby seems like a perfect fit.
armin: I don't know of any. To be honest, I don't even know WinEdt :)
Adam Katz: Isn't real-time LaTex? rendering really hard? Isn't WinEdt just a text editor that's commonly used to edit LaTex? et al?

Has work on Gobby stalled? The product is pretty good state but the milestones seem to be creeping by. Can anyone give an update so we know there is life yet?

I cannot download Gobby 4.5 to Windows 2004--there is a message that I don't have the Gtk+ or Gtkmm (both of which I just installed). I rebooted but still get the same message. what to do?
To everyone having a problem like above, I found a fix: install, in this order, the GTK+ Runtime Environment (http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/), the Gtkmm Runtime Environment (listed on http://gobby.0x539.de/trac/wiki/InstallationGuide), and THEN Gobby. If the Gobby installer is still giving you crap about the GTK and so on, MOVE THE INSTALLER. I have NO IDEA why that helps, but it does. Move it to another folder and execute it again.

Hi guys, first of all: good work...
But since I am often working together with friends at school stuff I would be happy to have a spell check integrated. (like this wiki) So the tool could get really nice to work at desks outside the IT sector...
Has there already been any thoughts about it?
2007-09-08
Has there been any thoughts on adding Gecko-functionality to Gobby? (Gecko is Mozilla Firefox rendering engine) It would improve Gobby as a HTML/CSS editor tremendously.
armin: No, there haven't, and there will not be for the forseeable future, at least not from my side. Sorry. Integrating obby into your favourite (web) editor could be another possibility, though.

I've been looking for something like Gobby for a long, long time, and I love it. There is one feature I'd like to see on Sobby/Gobby, though. I'd like for the server to be able to handle multiple sessions. When connecting to the server (possibly password protected), the client would get a window with the active sessions and an option to create a new (named) session. This would increase the usability of the server a lot, as well as making it usable in organizations/communities as well as on single projects. Gobby acting as a server would, of course, still work as it does now.
I realise this is a major rethink, so I don't expect any quick response (or any response at all, should this not fit with the vision of the project), but if it is to be done, it's always better to do the rethinks before the code base gets too big. -- Troberg
I am trying to compile Gobby in Eclipse on Windows Xp but I have an error at the class test_document.java. I have followed the installation process but I do not succeed to find one solution. Someone can help me? Thanks

Who are the people behind Gobby? I'm asking because there's the possibility that we know each other but don't know it.
-- cracki (i used to be on cppforum.de, which is now shut down)
armin: I am not sure what you want to hear. However, I did not even know about cppforum.de.

I was wondering if an HTTP/AJAX client and bridging server for web browsers would have any merit... it'd be way better than a pastebin and easier for "drive-through" style support (see freenode programming channels).
armin: It probably would, but I don't have experience in AJAX programming and not enough time to do this myself. However, if anyone would like to try something in that direction, I would be glad answering questions concerning the obby protocol and/or architecture.

Is there a way to use sobby via xinetd? I was able to set it up otherwise, but the client disconnected after setting up TLS. --jm
armin: I did never try, but if you tell me what an application must do to support xinetd (if anything) we can see further.
phil: xinetd cannot work because it spawns a server instance per connection. Sobby is a daemon which needs to run persistently, instead of being invoked one time for every user.

Problem solved! All I had to do was to reinstall GTK+ win32 from http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to post my request of help. I used gobby 0.4.3 on WindowsXP for a month with gtkmm-win32-runtime-2.10.7-1. After a while I upgraded my version of gaim to Pidgin 2.0 (an update of GTK was included). I don't know if is this exactly the problem but, by a few days Gobby doesn't work anymore! So I decided to uninstall GTKMM (runtime edition) and reinstall the new version gtkmm-win32-runtime-2.10.8-1. Nothing to do! The installer of Gobby says he can't find GTKmm. The same thing reinstalling gtkmm-win32-runtime-2.10.7-1. Has anyone idea of what can I do to return using Gobby? Thanks,
rayman

I was wondering if you were planning on adding in code folding? -comtuxaps_at_gmail.com

I love the program, good work! I'm not a huge fan of the new floating users / document windows though. Would you accept a patch that would make those optionally dock / float? -Aaron

Good to know it's not the engine. The fora are popular and also attrack spam, true. Could it be left on the internet-archive, probably? http://web.archive.org/web/*/darcs.0x539.de/* negative.

phil: Well, this single site seems to attract spammers. I would rather like to see it closed, than to see spam/unspam entries in the timeline. (Exactly those we did crush by deleting spammed revisions, but then we, i.e. I, hit the wrong button and deleted the page altogether.)
2006-08-08
phil: Depends on your faith. We opted for nirvana as the location of choice (i.e. it was accidentally deleted while purging SPAM, and no, we haven't had any backups).

Unfortuneately we lost our old wiki-forum that had been working nicely. Questions and comments are in place here. I have no idea why a spamer could destroy it. All that was left is
Can this really be the first forum post? --SJ
Former edits (there have been many) were destroyed by spam, sorry.
Question to the admins: Has this wiki an incomplete history and if not, where is it for this page?
